Se entiende por dieta sana aquella ingesta de alimentos que ayuda a mantener, recuperar o mejorar la salud. Es un proceso automático, producto de la cultura, y a la vez un acto voluntario que está condicionado por diversos tipos de factores que determinan una buena o mala alimentación. La correcta nutrición es uno de los pilares de la salud y el desarrollo, permite reforzar el sistema inmunitario, contraer menos enfermedades y gozar de una mejor salud. La gente sana es más fuerte, más productiva y está en mejores condiciones de desarrollar al máximo su potencial. Se puede llevar una dieta sana mediante varios alimentos ya sean de origen vegetal o animal. Una dieta equilibrada se considera, junto al ejercicio, una manera importante de reducir los riesgos para la salud asociados a la obesidad o la hipertensión entre otras enfermedades. Durante los primeros años la buena alimentación y nutrición son fundamentales para la salud y el bienestar a lo largo de toda la vida. La lactancia materna es uno de los factores más importantes, pese a lo cual apenas un tercio de los lactantes reciben lactancia exclusivamente materna durante los primeros 6 meses. undefined
